2026 Jewellery Trends: Gold, Diamonds & Matching Sets

A new year is fast approaching. So it’s time to reassess your jewellery collection to make sure that you continue to be on-trend throughout 2026. In this article, we’ll be detailing all of the jewellery trends set to take the industry by storm in 2026. But don’t worry, because here at Little Star Jewellery, we have an impressive collection of high-quality, beautifully-crafted jewellery that will fit in with the most modern and striking aesthetic for the year to come. From solid gold and diamond-set pieces to pearls, mixed metals and everything in between, here’s what you should be keeping an eye out for as we enter 2026.

Gold

Yellow gold is set to take centre stage in 2026 when it comes to jewellery. With its classic, timeless look and everlasting longevity, it’s no wonder an increasing number of people are looking to yellow gold in 2026 over other metals. Here at Little Star Jewellery, we have a stunning collection of solid gold jewellery available. This ensures you stay ahead of the curve when it comes to your jewellery game in 2026. For more solid gold jewellery items from Little Star Jewellery, take a look at the ‘Celestial Motifs’ section of this blog post.

Aurora – 9ct Gold & Diamond ID Bracelet

Where timeless elegance meets modern charm, this solid gold ID bracelet comes with an adjustable chain and features a shimmering diamond on an engravable solid gold plate. Make this gold bracelet even more special by personalising it for the recipient and ensuring your present stands out from the crowd.

Diamonds 

It’s common knowledge that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and that’s something that’s very much true of jewellery trends for 2026. Diamonds not only add a hint of elegance, sparkle and glamour to an outfit, but they also exude style and sophistication like no other jewellery piece out there. Little Star Jewellery has a gorgeous collection of pavé diamond jewellery on offer if you want to make an impression this new year. Take a look at just a few of the pieces we have available below:

Orion – Diamond Pavé Heart Studs

These stunning heart diamond pavé stud earrings are elegant and radiant. Crafted in gleaming platinum plating and set with 28 incredible pavé diamonds for added brilliance and sparkle, these diamond stud earrings for girls and women alike are the ultimate addition to any jewellery collection as we head into 2026.

Vesper – Diamond ID Bracelet

Crafted in sterling silver and finished with luxurious platinum plating to give it a high shine, this ID bracelet not only exudes elegance and timelessness, but it can be made even more special with personalisation. The gleaming plate allows for easy engraving, so you can have meaningful numbers, letters and words etched directly onto the metal for a keepsake that will last a lifetime. In addition, this bracelet also comes set with a 0.07ct sparkling diamond to add an understated hint of glamour and style.

Sirius – Diamond Pavé Heart Necklace

Add timeless sparkle to any outfit you wear in 2026 with our Sirius Diamond Pavé Heart Necklace. A pendant that’s perfect for women and children, this piece blends the elegance of fine jewellery with everyday charm and beauty. Finished with luxurious platinum plating and set with 19 shimmering pavé diamonds, it’s a dazzling addition to any jewellery collection. 

Matching jewellery sets

Matching with your mini-mes or even matching necklaces and earrings together, simultaneously, are both looking to be exciting jewellery trends for 2026. Here at Little Star Jewellery, we have matching Mummy & Me and Daddy & Me jewellery sets, so you can effortlessly match with your little ones. Alternatively, we also have matching earrings, bracelets and necklaces available to buy individually, such as the Orion diamond stud earrings and the Sirius diamond heart necklace, for instance. Browse through our collection to uncover more of our matching jewellery options. 

Pearls

Pearl jewellery is often associated with style, elegance and timelessness. It exudes vintage glamour that can rarely be matched by other stones and gems. Here at Little Star Jewellery, we understand the importance of pearl jewellery and why it remains a staple addition to anyone’s jewellery collection, whether it be for a child or an adult. Take a look at our collection of pearl jewellery here.

Celestial motifs

Another jewellery motif that is set to hit the scene in 2026 is the celestial theme. Essentially, it refers to any element of the sky, often at night. It can include references to moons, stars, clouds and more. Astrology will meet the art of jewellery design in 2026. So, make sure you add celestial symbols to your jewellery collection if you want to stay on-trend. Here at Little Star Jewellery, we have a couple of jewellery pieces that have a celestial-inspired design, including the following:

Alya – 9ct Gold & Diamond Pendant

With a crescent moon design, this delicate pendant is a timeless symbol of new beginnings, sweet dreams and overall beauty. Suspended on a gorgeous adjustable gold chain, this gold diamond moon necklace makes for the perfect keepsake. This is the case whether gifting it to a loved one or to grace your own collection. It’s a celestial-designed pendant that will be cherished forever. 

Mina – 9ct Gold & Diamond Moon Studs

Perfect for both women and children, these cold moon diamond-set stud earrings will make the ultimate statement in 2026. They’re timeless yet stunning and offer an intricate design that is inspired by celestial motifs. Perfectly sized for both first and second hole piercings, these moon studs are the ideal present for all. You might even be tempted to buy them as a gorgeous addition to your own trendy jewellery collection. 

Celeste – 9ct Gold & Diamond Moon & Star Bangle

This bangle is made for children up to the age of five (wrist sizes may vary). It’s a wonderful celestial gift for a child’s birthday, Christening or even as a late Christmas present. Symbolising the start of a bright journey through life, this gold and diamond-set celestial bangle is also engraveable. So, it’s never been easier to gift the most precious, unique present to a mini-me. Made from solid 9ct gold, set with a real diamond, this is a timeless keepsake that will remain in the family for generations.

Colette – Star & Moon Necklace

Send your child to the moon and back with our celestial-designed star and moon necklace. Made from sterling silver and plated with 9ct rose gold for good measure, your mini-me is bound to stand out from the crowd moving into the new year while adorning this precious, delicate necklace.

Made from sterling silver and plated in yellow gold, these star hoop earrings are the ultimate jewellery piece for that celestial touch. Adorable, edgy and gorgeous, these earrings add the most beautiful statement to any outfit for women and girls alike. In addition, optimum comfort is offered to ensure long-term wear. 

Personalised jewellery

Nothing says unique and one-of-a-kind like personalised jewellery. Take an already-stunning piece of jewellery and make it even more special by engraving its surface. Add meaningful words, letters or numbers. There’s even more reason to do it now as we head into the new year. This is because personalised jewellery is set to explode in popularity throughout 2026. It’s something that would make an ideal gift for a loved one, no matter the occasion. Here at Little Star Jewellery, our personalisation service is free with the purchase of a jewellery piece that’s engraveable. Take a look at our personalised jewellery options here.

Mixed metals

The mixed metal jewellery trend often comes and goes as we enter new years and leave old ones. But for 2026, mixed metals are definitely making a comeback. Whether you mix and match gold, silver and rose gold or buy mixed metal jewellery that’s become part of its design, you’re sure to be on trend in 2026, no matter the styling option you choose. Here are just a few of the mixed metal pieces we have available here at Little Star Jewellery that would make stunning additions to anyone’s jewellery collection as we go into a new year:
